Lovely staff, nice large room & good sized bathroom, both well kitted out. Position is excellent overlooking a nice beach & you can walk from the hotel to the village which is about 30 minutes away by walking along the beach. Hotel provides snorkelling equipment. We found the food very tasty with a good choice & also a good wine...

We last visited the hotel L'Archipel in October 2014, and have just returned from our 2nd trip to this lovely hotel: we loved it last time, but probably loved it even better on this latest trip, from which we have just returned
What makes this hotel very special, and is unusual these days, is that this is a real family...

On behalf of the entire team, I extend my thanks and gratitude for this well detailed review and your loyalty as faithful repeat clients of our establishment

Excellent beach facilities: 1-2 seats canoes, stand up paddlers-only for the next 750 m distance, snorkeling (equipment free and available until 5 pm)
Fantastic place at the very interesting north shore of the island Praslin.
Poor snorkeling sites next to the beach - even if you go closer to the granite rocks left and right hand site of the beach....

We stayed here for 6 nights & enjoyed our stay but felt, with a bit of effort, it could be so much better. We were greeted with a cold drink & after the formalities were shown to our room .We were in room 10 which has a fabulous view & privacy .Large & well appointed, it was all that we...

I must extend my/our thanks for your detailed & honest review. Its important that we receive such feedback from our guests as we do indeed take it constructively & every effort will be made to the best of our ability in addressing your key points.

As the car pulled up the reception staff came out to greet us by name which was a lovely touch and made us feel special and the service continued to that level throughout our stay.
Our room (no 24) was wonderful. Not too far from the reception and pool area but wonderfully quiet with a view to die for!

Thank you for your kind words and praises. Its reviews such as yours that make us all realise that our efforts are not in vain.

The setting and surroundings of L'Archipel is as close to perfect as you can get.
The hotel has it's own private beach. It was truly beautiful - pristine white sands, crystal clear waters, lined with palm trees offering pleasant shade. It was so beautiful, I felt guilty reading my book! It was never crowded - I think we took one...

Dinner at L'archipel is one very gratifying experience. Whether you go for an ala carte dinner or prefer the buffet, the gastronomic preferences are endless. The buffet is distinctively creole while the ala carte caters to all sorts of palates.
This would definitely be one of the finer dining experiences in the island of Praslin, so savor the experience.

The rooms are spacious and spotless clean. Room service is available twice a day.
Garden and pool area are well kept.
The private beach is good for swimming. Kajak, mask, snorkel and fins are available free of charge. Though the snorkelling is really nothing to write home about, but that applies to the whole of Seychelles.
Breakfast is buffet style...

The setting and location of L'Archipel is truly idyllic.
The views are spectacular, the beach white and pristine, the grounds immaculate.
Couple this with peace and quiet, excellent, attentive staff , a wonderful colonial feel, an infinity pool, exotic flora and fauna and you have as perfect a hotel as you could imagine.
However, competition on Praslin is hotting up...

A beautiful location. The resort offered quiet, peaceful, and gorgeous views. We had a room (Alphonse) that required quite a walk but offered great views to enjoy our morning tea and coffee.
Jean (beach activity coordinator) and Pierre (hotel staff) were pleasant and most helpful. The balance of the staff (reception and wait staff) could learn how to smile and...

Thank you for the honest review of our hotel. I have taken note of all your points and each will be addressed with the team. I apologise equally for the fact that your husband was sent back to the room as we do and have adopted a more lenient policy re dress code in the evening
